Clean sheets

3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
